Maynely art on the ferry

Yesterday I spent a portion of the day writing a promo sheet for Novelty Yarn: collecting quotes from reviews, editing a short resume, and ensuring that order information was included.

Why?

Allow me to explain: the Queen of Cumberland ferry runs from Mayne Island to the mainland. On this ferry is Trincomali Community Art Council's display case. Four islands (Pender, Saturna, Galiano, and Mayne) take turns showing off their artists' work in this case. It's now Mayne Island's turn.

Island artists take turns assembling the art and creating the display. Well saying take turns is not exactly correct. Do you know the 80 per-cent/20 per-cent rule? Basically the rule is that 80 per-cent of the work is done by 20 per-cent of the people. The case is no different. The work falls on a small group of artists who have shown talent in the area of arranging. It requires an artist's eye. Much thanks to this small group of talented artists.

The display case should be ready sometime next week. So please watch for Maynely art on the Queen of Cumberland ferry. Feel free to ooh and aah. We like that.
